Recap: Fourth of July Weekend

The Fourth of July -- besides being a wonderful holiday where we celebrate America's Independence, it's the perfect mid-summer break to enjoy with family & friends. For most, it means no schedules to adhere to, no work to attend, & the perfect excuse to eat & drink until your heart is content.

*I apologize in advance for the quality of the below photos; they were all taken with my cell phone.

Friday mid-morning, we hiked Thunder Mountain for the first time... my husband had the idea & we had no idea what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. There are grass cut trails & it's a really easy hike through the fields & forest that offers beautiful views.

It would be a great place to picnic as well -- there are 3 look out points with scenic views & picnic tables to enjoy a packed lunch (watch out for ticks though)!

Saturday we came back home & attended a "tiki hut" party by Zac's Aunt & Uncle. Their property is basically like a resort. They have a big, beautiful home on a hill & down below they built a tiki hut that sits at the foot of their sand volleyball court, which hugs their pond. Basically, why would you ever leave? We lounged pond-side & ate Belgian Trippe until our bellies were content, and then headed to Green Bay to watch the downtown fireworks.

Sunday was a lazy day -- we slept in, went to breakfast, did some housework, then kayaked the afternoon away at Krohns Lake & even caught a few fish!

It was lovely weekend indeed, and now we're back to reality.
Friday... where are you??!
